Section 291: Defence of movable property without claim of right

When a person who is entitled by law to the possession of movable property, attempts
to take from a person who is in possession of the property, but who neither claims
right to it, nor acts by the authority of a person who claims right, and the person in
possession resists him, it is lawful for the person so entitled to possession to use force
in order to obtain possession of the property, provided that he does not do harm to the
person in possession.
